Perhaps I spoke too soon...

# /usr/pkg/bin/pg_dumpall -O -U postgres -a > /data/dumpall
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "template1" failed:
FATAL: out of memory
DETAIL: Failed on request of size 20.
pg_dumpall: pg_dump failed on database "template1", exiting

...for better or worse, I'm interfacing to postgresql using perl's DBI
interface.
Are there likely to be any issues from that? (Although I can't see how
a client
should be able to cause the server to become corrupt unless there's a bug in
the server.)
